Part A:
Given that lie <span>detectors have a 15% chance of concluding that a person is lying even when they are telling the truth. Thus, lie detectors have a 85% chance of concluding that a person is telling the truth when they are indeed telling the truth.
The case that the lie detector correctly determined that a selected person is saying the truth has a probability of 0.85
Thus p = 0.85
Thus, the probability that </span>the lie detector will conclude that all 15 are telling the truth if <span>all 15 applicants tell the truth is given by:
</span>
<span>
</span>Part B:
Given that lie detectors have a 15% chance of concluding that a person is lying even when they are telling the truth. Thus, lie detectors have a 85% chance of concluding that a person is telling the truth when they are indeed telling the truth.
The case that the lie detector wrongly determined that a selected person is lying when the person is actually saying the truth has a probability of 0.25
Thus p = 0.15
Thus, the probability that the lie detector will conclude that at least 1 is lying if all 15 applicants tell the truth is given by:
Part C:
Given that lie detectors have a 15% chance of concluding that a person is lying even when they are telling the truth. Thus, lie detectors have a 85% chance of concluding that a person is telling the truth when they are indeed telling the truth.
The case that the lie detector wrongly determined that a selected person is lying when the person is actually saying the truth has a probability of 0.15
Thus p = 0.15
The mean is given by:
Part D:
Given that lie detectors have a 15% chance of concluding that a person is lying even when they are telling the truth. Thus, lie detectors have a 85% chance of concluding that a person is telling the truth when they are indeed telling the truth.
The case that the lie detector wrongly determined that a selected person is lying when the person is actually saying the truth has a probability of 0.15
Thus p = 0.15
The <span>probability that the number of truthful applicants classified as liars is greater than the mean is given by:
